What do you make of the documentary on AlphaGo where the AI did seemingly suicidal and incomprehensible moves to the human masters but won in the end, baffling everyone? https://youtu.be/WXuK6gekU1Y

Yes you are quite right. The social media reactions did not suggest an attitude of suicide at all. It was more of laid back life instead of meeting expectations and attaining so-called success.

Spot on. Funny results from poorly specified AI experiments have cropped up since the 90's. But the interestingly angel her is how this one came out of nowhere at the right time and resonated with young working class Chinese.

Yes, indeed. Sometimes the disincentive is just as important as the incentive in determining the outcome!

That same observation, with the exact same -100 points recommendation on crashing into a boulder, was indeed also made by a commentator on social media.

Perhaps all AI eventually figure out that humans are the REAL problems because we don't optimize, we lust and hoard and are envious and greedy - the very antithesis of resource optimization! Lol.

Interesting essay. I think the big blind spot for humans programming AI is also the fact that we tend to overlook the obvious, whereas algorithms will tend to take the path of least resistance without prejudice or coloring by habit and experience.
yes... the word "Dictatorship" does come to mind...

Yah... indeed, it's just a straw in the wind sort of poll. Nothing robust or scientific. Just for kicks really.
